ValueJet Airlines has announced an expansion of its Lagos–Owerri route, introducing daily flights to strengthen connectivity between Nigeria’s commercial capital and the South-East region.
According to a statement on Monday, the airline’s Lagos–Owerri flights will increase from three weekly services to seven, effective 23 March 2026.
The expansion is designed to offer travellers greater flexibility, improve scheduling options, and ease travel pressure on one of Nigeria’s busiest domestic corridors, frequently used by business travellers, families and entrepreneurs.
Commenting on the development, ValueJet Managing Director Omololu Majekodunmi said the move reflects the airline’s commitment to enhancing domestic air connectivity and supporting economic activity across Nigeria.
“The introduction of daily flights on the Lagos–Owerri route is in direct response to growing passenger demand. Our goal is to provide dependable and convenient travel options that connect people, businesses and opportunities across Nigeria,” Majekodunmi said.
He added that the route plays a strategic role in commerce, education and social interaction between the two regions, noting that consistent flight availability would improve mobility for professionals and families who rely on predictable travel schedules.
“Reliable air transport remains critical to national development. By increasing frequency, we are helping travellers plan better while also strengthening economic and social ties,” he stated.
